Day 2- Welcome to Turrialba


We officially started our 14-day journey!!!
After a full breakfast at the hotel, we jumped straight to the bus for a 3-hour drive to our base house in Turrialba! We introduced our Glimpsers to Costa Rica and everyone had a chance to talk a little bit about themselves.

Everyone’s energy was amazing! Even though some were a little tired. Once we arrived to our base house in Aquiares, Turrialba students entered their rooms and we had a typical Costa Rican dish called casado!!!

in the afternoon we had welcome and orientation & culture seminars. We learned a lot about Costa Rican slang!!! We went for a walk in our neighborhood (got to feed some guayaba to some horses) and went to buy some snacks at the local market or CHINO. After we had 1:1s and students played some card games together, everyone bonded pretty well.

we had a lovely dinner and our first nightly meeting went great! Our LDD for tomorrow showed us her talent and it was a wrap-up!!!!!!!
